There's a process in the justice system called mediation. Basically, it's a session where the plaintiff and defendant get together and have a discussion about how to resolve the conflict. It cannot, however, make binding judgements. Only a real court can do that. If the two parties disagree then it proceeds to a lawsuit. The NRLB processes mediation for labor disputes. Its decisions aren't binding, and it's common to proceed to a lawsuit or arbitration even after the NRLB rejects someone complaint.
